The blue sector depicts the areas of the City of St. Matthews within the St. Matthews Fire service area. The pink sector represents the areas of the City of St. Matthews that are serviced by Lyndon Fire & Rescue.

Lyndon Fire & Rescue has over 50 years of tradition serving Lyndon and its surrounding communities. Since our inception, consisting of one small building, and several committed volunteers, we have grown into one of the busiest fire departments in the county (for our size, we are far and away the busiest), utilizing two full-time crews, and a strong cadre of volunteers, placed strategically in two stations. Lyndon is guided by a dedicated board of directors, and a chief who is known for innovative fire-fighting techniques. Serving beneath Chief David Howser are three battalion chiefs, who not only manage the day-to-day operations of the department, but command the majority of the significant incidents in our district. Their job is made easier by an experienced group of captains, sergeants, and firefighters.
